He says that the tape demonstrates loyalty to the family and he says he loves Jey and asks if they want Zayn in The Bloodline to raise their ones. Both of The Usos raise their hands.

Roman stands and says that as the Head of the Table, he finds Zayn not guilty for now and he asks Sami to thank Jey for buying him more time.
